Experience: Retro Creams and Perfumes - etsy

Blue Bubblegum Crush

Retro Creams and Perfumes

I haven't done one of these posts in a while but having ordered from Retro Creams and Perfumes twice now I think now is a perfect time to do so. Bare in mind I have no links or affiliations with the company / brand.

The shop is based in Michigan, United States and I in England. I ordered three of the roll on perfumes and they arrived in eight days which I think is amazing. I am used to waiting three to four weeks for things to arrive from the US.

As I say I ordered three of the roll on perfumes, these are perfect for your handbag because when you are out and about sometimes it is not appropriate to be spraying a scent. Very discreet. There is 15ml in each roll on and they do go a long way.

Why would I want do buy from Retro Creams and Perfumes?

The bottles are recyclable, fresh, natural, vegan and pack a good scent punch.

Contains no parabens or phthalates or any skin harming ingredients.

The base is grapeseed oil mixed with the fragrance oil, but doesn't leave a greasy residue.

Handmade fragrences, Jasmina has been making these since 2008.

Honey I Shrunk the Kids

The particular scents I ordered are relatively unique, I opted for ones made from the scents of Lush products. For example you like a bath ballistic and want a perfume of that scent, well once a year Lush do a fragrance party where they make around five different spray perfumes, you can only order on that particular day and they cost between £20 and £30 which isn't too bad. But from year to year you can't guarantee a particular scent is made. In the past I have ordered a couple of these and while they are amazing you can't be sure your favorite scent is made in to a spray. Even if you aren't in to Lush and their scents they do some other amazing scents, based around other fragrances; full list here.

So the scents which I ordered were Blindfolded, Blue Bubblegum Crush and Honey I Shrunk the Kids. All of these smell spot on to what they are supposed to. You roll on the scent to your pulse points, wrists and behind ears.

Overall I would really recommend Jasmina and Retro Creams and Perfumes, the scents are amazing and the shipping times really fabulous. For something a little different, discreet and natural I will be purchasing again.
